110v carpentry tools in Australia 249On Sun, 21 May 2006 18:11:37 +0100, Laura Firstly, this is a bit confusing to me, as was pretty sure that the UK and Australia both use 240 volt RMS 50 Hz. The...
Gill, thank you for you detailed advice. Please let me know if I understood what you said, summarizing:
1. Foreign medical pension income is of no influence on the buttessment of migration applications.
2. If the MOC expects that the total of pension + medal costs that the Australian Health system will need to pay for Tim in the first 3-5 years is below "significant cost" (AUD 20,000 or more), TIM wil probably pbutt the health criteria.
3. If the total abovementioned costs are significant costs, the MOC will only recommend DIMA of the waiving of the first health criteria, if the total costs of providing Tim with a reasonable standard of living until his rest (buttumed without available funds from the Joanna) is less than approximately AUD 250K to 350K.
In Tim's case, his backpains have reduced and his Australian clone would be able to to do gardening and administration. Tim's Dutch health pension is fixed and he will probably keep it another few years. So, in the case that Tim would need one expected operation plus wheelchair and drugs for AUD40K together, but wouldn't be iligible for a full australian health pension, his migration will probably be accepted if they expect him to be able to do administrative work. As I understand from you, also the buttessment of the costs to keep Tim reasonably alive until his rest, does not account for Dutch foreign incomes. However, buttuming that Joanna is dead and Tim will be soon be unable to work because of his age (say within 10 years), he has another 10 years to live. Is the Australian governement obligated to keep him alive with a pension? Even if he will not work at all in the first 10 years in Australia?
As far as I am informed by the Dutch government health service, Tim's retirement pension will be transferrable to Australia after his migration, for a specific percentage (as long as he worked in the Netherlands up to his 65th age). This means that he will keep about 80% of his Dutch retirements pension.
Thank your for comments on this, Cheers Prem
